Create a Rollover button with Image appearing next to it

When I try to create a rollover button with the image appearing next to it, I have to group them. However, when you go to rollover the button the image will appear the length of the group instead of the small icon I want to use. Below is the example: If I mouse over anything to the right of the camera icon, the image will appear as well. I do not want that. I just want the image to appear when I rollover the camera and disappear when I roll off the camera. Any help would be appreciated.

    Turn off the rollover effect for the large graphic. Have it hidden until triggered and set a rollover for the camera to display the large graphic.

    As already pointed out, this is a crapshoot on anything other than Acrobat or Acrobat Reader on a desktop. There's no such thing as rollovers on mobile and mobile reader are notoriously bad for interactive PDF.

    So I have done that and now when I rollover the camera icon the image appears but does not disappear when I roll off the camera icon. What's the solution to that?


    Set an “on rolloff” effect.

    be advice that rollovers for interactive .pdf will not work on acrobat on mobile devices.

    please post screenshots of what you are doing so we can see.
